Drums of Death
Sorry i've been quiet lately. I've been pretty ill to be honest, but seem to be on the road to recovery now. I should have been furnishing you with reports on last weekend's Camden Crawl, but had to give it a miss. I did manage to crawl out and see Maps at the ICA last night though, which was pretty great. Save for a frenetic drummer it wasn't the most charismatic of live performances, but the songs were amazing and the audience were suitably bewitched.
Here's the video to forthcoming single 'It Will Find You'....
And one of the excellent b-sides from the single
MAPS - I WAS BORN TWICE

Datassette is one of the new breed of artists making beautiful records with 8-bit sounds. He's been picked up for a couple of releases on AI Records, but what really pricked my ears up was his superb remix of the now ubiquitous 'Young Folks'. This definitely applies enough of a fresh rub to the track to make it worth a listen. The other two remixes are similarly full of 80s bleeps and phat bass noises.
PETER BJORN & JOHN - YOUNG FOLKS (DATASSETTE REMIX)
KATE BUSH - RUNNING UP THAT HILL (DATASSETTE REMIX)
INTERPOL - UNTITLED (DATASSETTE REMIX)
There's plenty more gems on his site. Best of all... check this brilliant vocodered italo version of 'The Message'. Just amazing! Datashat is his bastard pop alter ego... under which you'll find some even more twisted cover versions.
DATASHAT - STOP THE MESSAGE
Any feedback would be good, as I don't think there's any plans to release these at the moment, and I reckon they need to get pressed on vinyl! I for one would certainly buy 'The Message'....
Also tipped to me by Wonktronica are new Australian performance artists / electro rockers 'Theatre of Disco'. They look like a lot of fun, and i'm sure you'll be hearing much more of when they hit the UK at the end of the Summer.
Oli Chang from the band has come up with a superb new tune that's supposedly a mash up of Britney and Oasis... but to me just sounds like a party-rocking electro gem.
KWIK ALLSTARS - KWIK ALLSTARS
Finally while we're returning to a bit of Peter Bjorn & John, here's Diplo's take on 'Young Folks'.
PETER BJORN & JOHN - YOUNG FOLKS (DIPLO'S DRUMS OF DEATH REMIX)
And really finally...
DATASHAT - DON'T YOU WANT ME
